Drawn vs. Soldered Toneholes
In the early days of flute making, a relatively thin flute tube was desired for brilliance and quick response and it was not technically possible to draw and roll toneholes without destroying the tube. Thus, toneholes were soldered into place. Today, technology exists to draw and roll tubing of almost any thickness.
Each type of tonehole is constructed differently, resulting in differing playing characteristics. Following are some comparisons of drawn and rolled vs. soldered toneholes:
Technical Aspects
Drawn and rolled toneholes are an integral part of the flute tube. A small hole is punched into the tube and a sphere of steel, similar to a ball bearing, is placed inside the tube below where the tonehole will be located. The steel ball is then pulled up and out creating the tonehole. Another tool rolls the top edges of the tonehole so that the surface is flat and smooth.
